The story so far
Google announced on Tuesday, October 20, that TorchTPU, its version of the PyTorch AI development toolkit, is now available as an open-source project. The company's move, which follows a similar push by Amazon, targets Nvidia's dominant position among AI developers.
The next day, Walmart said it plans to let shoppers connect their own AI agents to its website next month, so the software can buy items on their behalf. On Wednesday, October 21, Walmart announced it is launching Agent Gateway, a new server that lets approved AI shopping agents connect to its online store, search inventory and make purchases for users.
The approach contrasts with that of Amazon, which has blocked Perplexity's shopping agent and Meta's Muse AI assistant. The reports describe the move as setting Walmart apart from its rivals.
